Toronto NDP Leadership Debate to be held January 18

Over the past few weeks, as part of the NDP Federal Leadership race, the Toronto Area Council has been working to organize a leadership debate that would be held in Toronto.

Today, we are happy to announce that a date has been chosen for a Toronto debate and that all eight leadership candidates have confirmed their participation. This will be an excellent opportunity for Toronto-area members to learn more about the candidates.

The theme of the debate will be “An Agenda for Canadian Cities”. We will be offering an opportunity for each candidate to articulate their vision for urban centres.


There will be three main sections divided into the following topics:

  • Infrastructure Renewal
  • Equality and Social Issues
  • Sustainable Economy

Date: Wednesday, January 18
Time: Doors open at 7pm, Debate starts at 7:30pm
Location: Bloor Collegiate Institute, 1141 Bloor St. W.
